As a Canadian who comes here often I see no cause for concern. I very much enjoy the UK and American and Canadian and Australian, etc etc, etc, aspects of this forum. However, I must say that the issue of "Where Are the Americans" concerns me a bit as it seems to imply an intolerance for those who are not American , or at the very least a resentment regarding the amount of UK info. I find that a bit sad and wish that people would start new posts on music from everywhere. This is a great forum but the only way it can express a broad view is for people from everywhere to participate, rather than grumble.
